THE IMBEDDED FROG DELUsIoN.-On Of
the most remarkable fctions that has ever
been perpetrated is that relating to the frog
in solid rock. The story crops out every
few years, or, indeed months, in the local
press of this country or Europe, the state
ment being made that such woodchopper
or blaster had discovered frog or toad, as
the case may be, imbedded in the solid sub
stance, where it must have been for hun
dreds or thousands Of years, time being no
object in such cases. Some gears ago the
laborers in blasting rock at Central Park
found toad after 8 blast six or eight feet
below the surface, in 8 creyice, and the re-
port was circulated that it had been there
for 8 thousand years. The truth was that
the animal had in some way, perhaps st
the time of the blast, found its way down
into the crevice, and this viii probably ex-
plain ali such cases. To settle the question,
some years ago the late Frank Bnckland
instituted 3 number of experiments that
showed the utter impossibility of such an
occurrence He had made number Of re-
ceptscles of stone plaster and wood, imiJa-
ting every possible case that he had ever
heard of, In these he imprisoned toads,
and in every case they died very goon.
Those that lived the longest were there
the air reached them owing to The porous
nature of the rock. The experiments were
conclusive 10 showing that the animsls
could not exist without air fer any extend
ed time-San francisco Call.

LONDON, July 20.-Chamberlain was
the principal agent in conducting the
negotiations between government and
Unionists.
The Post, this morning, reiterates its
cry for unity among Unionists. 1t
says: The source of weakness will be
apparent, so long as Lord Salisbury is
compelled to declare himself in the
minority. A new appeal should be
made to Unionists to take their places
in their ministerial ranks.
The NelUs says: Lord Salisbury has
capltulated in terms that do honor to
his cynical frankness. Government
has betrayed Irish landlords for the
sake of Union and Office.
The power of Irish commissioners to
reduce judicial rents will be valid for
two years, at the end of which time it
is expected the purchase bill will be ii
operation.
Howell has notified Fowler that he
will call the attention of the House of
calling Howell damned liar"
The Times referring to concessions
made by Conservatives to Liberal
says that the government was probably
moved less by fear that their allies
would desert them than by the pereep
ton of the Importance of their doing
nothing to weaken the position of dis
sidents.
Gladstone, last evening, addressed
select company which assembled to
form branch of the Women's Liberal
Federation of which Mrs. Gladstone is
president. Referring to yesterdays
meeting of Conservatives at the Carlton
Club, he said: cit has gone abroad that
this great fortress, represented by
Goschen as a fortress, requiring to be
defended by government to the last of
its power and to the last moment Of its
existence is to be surrendered TO the evi-
dence offered by the elections !"
Sir Robert Fowler writes to the Times
denying that he used the strong Ian
guage toward Howell which that gen
tleman imputes to him.
Two more Great Britain iron clads
nave been in collision. The Agincourt
was run into to-day at Portsmouth by
the Black Prince and damaged.
